DENVER, Colorado, April ga local
paper says: X. g. Head, Jut ID. Brush,
Ex-Governor Rouett and several other
prominent cattlemen, held a secret
meeting at the Windsor hotel yesterday.
the object OF which has not been made
public, but 1t Is presumed to be in the
interest of some gigantic project in con-
nection with the cattle Industry. A
few weeks ago Messrs. Head aud
Rouett were In New York and Cbica-
go, working up the matter. A prUml-
nent cattleman In speaking upon the
subject, said it was shrewd-
ly suspected that the gentlemen
were drafting plans for q corporation,
something similar to MCCLELLAN co-epera-
tive plan which proposed to pool the en-
tire cattle interest Of the west and
which created so much discussion at
last session Of the international Range
association, held in Denver in February.
Ii IL further rumored that the scheme
upon which these gentlemen are working
is to control the beef market Of the cOun-
try and that they have associated with
them members of the dressed beef syndi-
cate, Chicago.

THE CoNsPIRAToRs.
A Short History of Those implicated in
the Milmo Bank Conspiracy.

A Short History of Those Implicated in
the Milmo Bank Conspiracy.
Henry Barnard, jailed at Laredo last
Wednesday, is brother Of Frank Bar
nard, well and most favorably known in
this city, and who Is now here as the
representative Of Don Particle MiImo's
livestock interests. He is q young man
of good breeding and until recently his
associations have been good, but he sue.
cumbed finally to the sussiODs Of an adj
venturesOme class on the Rio Grande.
He was jailed on a charge of having col
luded to the robbery Of the Milmo bank,
at Laredo. After being Jailed, some OF
the prisoners proposed to put him
through the "fresh fish" process which
the young man resented. The officer.
wbo,incaTCerGted him, had, 10 examining
his clothes, overlooked a nbladed
knife. When the prisoners attempted to
impose on him, he drew this weapon
and used it in defense, literally slic-
ing up two OF them. Major Ord,
of the Mexican army, now in this city,
and who left Laredo after Barnard's ar
rest, says it is hardly possible for the
offensive prisoners to survive.
The man Arispe, who lie stated in
special dispatches to have given the
plot to rob away, was formerly state
ranger, and did good service under Cap
tain SChmitt. Some months ago be Wis
tied San Antonio, and while here, fired
from hack, while riding along
Laredo street with Jesusa EspinOsa
and shot an unoffending and old Mexi-
can. Arispe is tall, line looking fell
low, well educated, and as brave as they
make them.
Theodore Sanders, the Laredo saloon
man, who killed Orfila and
opened up the secrets of the
intended pillsge OF Milmo's band
was raised In Rio Grande City.

How Shall We Vote Tomorrow ?

Editor LIGHT:
As the Taxpayers must vote tomorrow
on the proposition submitted by the
mayor and the council, 1t will not be
amiss TO say few words respecting the
proposition. All conoede the fact that
San Antonio needs sewerage badly, and
that Ii Ia peTilOus to health TO postpone
1t much longer, yet the city authorities,
In the facs--of this fact, propose e. ex-
pend $4,000 in the erection of a city
hall, and not one dollar for sewerage.
1t goes without saying, that we can get
along quite comfortably for some years
TO come without a city hall, and this one
fact Is decisive OF the matter. The
mayor and council, as public servants,
are bound to make the improvements
which are most important and necessary
to the citizens and to the future growth
OF the city, and If they thrust such i'm
prOvements into the back ground and
propose to expend $4,000 in a city hall,
the taxpayers should vote down the
proposition with emphasis. That is the
only alternative left to taxpayers. Why
should more useful and essential i'm
provements be postponed Indefinitely,
to the serious detrlment OF the city, in
order thai $4,000 may be laid out in a
city hall? That Is the question in a nut
shell. For aught any citizen can tell,
after the $4,000 city hall was COM
pleted, 1t might be in the same cOndi-
ton as the city and county nospital-un-
fit for use ana In need Of renovation.
Let us postpone the building of city
ball until we get sewers and street i'm
provements, and let us notify the city
authorities Of this conclusion by voting
in the negative tomorrow. In my judg-
ment it Is the duty Of the tax payers to
vote In the negative, unless they con-
slider Il Of the fret importance to have a
city hall at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. Sewers and street improvements
is what the city needs. MoDOC.

Hours of Labor.

An exchange publishes the following ln reference to the movement for a re- duction of the hours of labor, which is well worth considering.
 In view of the long and steady agita- ton for shorter hours on the part of a fraction of the persons engaged in man. ufacturing, the statement contained in . speach of Hon. Charles A. Dana to the locomotive firemsn on Saturday ar e worth considering,
 "Mr. Dana said that the firemen may have to work ten or twelve hours day. He himself works fourteen or fifteen, and farmers have 10 work fifteen and six teen, or they cannot make both ends meet; and until the farmer is able to live on six or eight hours work day the rest of the labor cannot expect to live on the fruits of his labor in less hours.
 No one IS likely to deny the truth of NIT. Dana's remarks about the hours of labor of farmers Let US see, then, how they compare in number with the trades and manufactures. According to the census of 1880 there were 6,67o,495 persons engaged m agricultuere and 5,646, 36S engaged Tn all trades and manufactures. Out of the latter many work as long as farmers and expect to do so.
 It is only fractional minority which insists that a days work can be done in little more than half cf the time which the greater majority find themselves compelled 10 adopt, not by force Of capital, but by nature and force of cir cumsiances. The impraticabitity of les sening the hours of labor before inven- ton and science make the way easy is absolute"

metal at once begins to cover the body perfectly and evenly. This may be kept
 up till the coating attains any desired thickness.
 "To this process there does not ap- pear to be any valid objection. In effect it transforms the body into a beautiful statue, in which form, features and even expression are perfectly and startlingly preserved. The body. being herme,i- cally sealed within its metal inclosure, merely dries up and assumes the aspect of mummy. This method obviates many objections which have been urged against other methods of disposing Of the dead, and at the same time meets the wishes of those whose sentiment, if nothing else, inclines them to favor the ordinary way of burial

We are Tn receipt ot beautiful sou venir from the Baltimore Sun, m honor of its semi-cen:ennial anniversary. Ac' companying it, also, is copy of the pa per published on its iiftieth anniversary. The history of the Sun IS most remark. able one, and is without 2 parallel n journalism Tn this country. It was started on the r7th day of May, 1857. by A. $. Abel. and has been published by him continuously for fifty years. On it's fif- ;ie,h anniversary he took into partner ship with him his three sons, Edwin T., George W. and Walter R. AbelL. There are a number of compositors in his em- ploy whs have held nses on the Sun for over fory-Sve years, and one dates back forty mine years. The Sun IS one of the few papers that has not adopted the modern hashy ideas of journalism, bu, gives all the current news of the day m brief and pithy style, without occu- pying large portion of its space in sen sational headlines. It is progressive in it's ideas. In a well written retrospect, written by it's venerable editor, 3 pardon able pride IS manifested in its past ca reer, and the brilliancy of its rays IS iarkencd only by It's course during the period of what he terms 'the war be- tween the states" That period of its existence Is passed over very lightly in the retrospect, and with that single exception, and the questions arising from Il, the Baltimore Sun has been the cham p,on of right and justice. May its founder and editor. live many years yet 10 enjoy the rewnrds of his labor and service in the past.

 All the history of the past, as It ap- pears ike panorama before our defect rye vision, IS only useful so far as we are guided by knowledge of past ex, perience. Rational liberty and the ex panslve genius of self-government have so far made us united and powerful to the people who are qualified by correct habits and self-discipline, to love and respec, the free institutions of our land. Liberty is what the sun is to the earth, light and life and infinite progress.
 The loss of liberty at Rome was con temporneous, or very nearly so, with the era of her greatest intellectual achieve ments. It was the loss of this public virtue that the elder Cato deplored when he said to the Roman Senate: "That it was not by the force of arms merely that their forefathers had raised the re- public to the greatness it enjoyed in their day, but by things of of very diff ferent nature, viz {: industry and discip- line al home, abstinence abroad, a disin- terested spirit in council. unblinded by passion and unbiased by pleasure"
 While we are today listening to the muffled drum, and our minds are re- verting back to the days of the past, do not forget the duties of the future
 A flood tide of apparent prosperity may be before us, filling for the time the avenues of this great nation, satia- ting the cravings of taste and curiosity Yet, sooner or later, it has its ebb, and either cloys with iis abundance or leaves the void greater than before. History is a silent but eloquent witness ot its truth. and from her undying lamp. sheds a stream of unceasing light along our pathway
 The fabrics of ancient greatness, built by injustice and consecrated to ambition. are now fitting shadows be fore us, starting from behind the broken pillars and falling columns that were reared to perpetuate the genius by which they were wrought.
 Then, be ttrue to yourselves, your country and your God.
 And in the spirit of your patriotic de votions, be not guided by selfish mo- tives, but clasp hands as neighbors and and friends, brave, devoted and true that they who died may not have died tn vain. They who, responding to heir nations call. went forth % fight for liberty, for human rights, for all. while sacrificing boons so near and dear to them. Yet. they have galned the olive branch. and wear the diadem. Applause.
